Early days with this image, but here’s some work in progress with a montage of x-ray plates that were attached to the wall of a vacuum chamber. In the centre of which a laser plasma produce high energy x-rays. Over the course of a month I imaged most of the area of the vacuum chamber. Even though the chamber is very thick aluminium its fairly invisible to the x-rays. But you can see the steel nuts and bolts holding the chamber together. What looks like windows in the chamber are actually solid aluminium, but thinner than the surrounding walls (3mm vs up to 30mm).
Long shadows are cast on the x-ray plates, so things are not always where they seem or to the same scale, though each plate is physically 20x40cm and shows the x-rays seen at that place. X-rays don’t have any colour (they aren’t even black and white - though thats how they’re normally seen) - i’ve used a piece of scientific software and used the same colour table for the x-ray plates as the scientists I worked with.
